Under Suspicion Page #2

Synopsis: In 1959 Brighton, disgraced cop turned private detective Tony Aaron works largely on falsifying adulteries for use as evidence in divorce cases. He involves his wife as the fictional co-respondent for painter Carlo Stasio but the pair are shot dead in the hotel room. In charge of the case is Frank, Tony's ex-partner still on the Brighton force. His most likely suspects are Angeline, Stasio's mistress who is set to inherit his house and pictures, and Tony himself, parts of whose story don't seem to add up.

over there.

So keep near me.

Remember,

you're a witness.

You two should be

ashamed of yourselves.

[SCREAMS]

Okay, just take

everybody's names,

keep the guests

in their rooms for the moment,

just make sure nobody leaves.

Are you all right?

Get some coffee.

I need to talk to you.

Were you in the bar

all evening?

Did you see anything?

Oh, God.

I can't believe

this has happened.

I just saw her--

What are you doing?

Well, you touched

the door handle,

didn't you?

Oh, I'm sorry.

I forgot.

Well, you're fine.

I guess you can

do your own.

No. Do it

for me, Frank.

My hands are

shaking too much.

Did you book

the room for them?

Yeah.

Why did you put them

on the top floor?

I don't know.

If you wanted them

to be noticed,

you'd stick them in the middle

of the first floor--

I don't know, Frank, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

It's all right. Don't worry.

You stay where I can find you.

You stay where I can find you.

I want whoever did this.

No! No!

It's just a photograph.

That's all it is.

Oh, Jesus.

What kind of casket

do you want, sir?

Uh, casket.

Uh...

I-- I haven't--

I haven't got much money.

You'd better make it

the cheapest.

[ENGINE STARTING]

Why so formal, Frank?

Can we do this

in my office?

I've got a lot

of pressure on me.

It's got to

all be done right.

You know

Dave Waterston,

he's been

working with me.

I was Colin's partner.

You remember Colin, Tony?

Yes. I remember Colin.

We're not here

to discuss that.

Look, Frank,

I've already--

There's no need to go

into all that again.

We got your statement.

You know who was killed

along with your wife, Tony?

His name was, uh,

Paduin, Padouin.

He was

an Italian salesman.

I don't know much

else about him.

You obviously

haven't read the newspapers.

His real name

was Carlo Stasio,

famous painter, rich.

I mean, really rich.

How did you meet him?

I-- I didn't,

until that day.

His, uh, his solicitor

came into the office

about a month ago.

He said that

they wanted to...

remain discreet.

In fact, he said

that Padouin--

that Stasio

wanted to use a false name

on the hotel registry.

I said that was all right

as long as there were witnesses,

you know,

to identify him in court.

Now, why would a millionaire

go to a dogshit little agency

like yours?

Maybe he wanted

anonymity,

seeing who he was.

I mean, no big agency's going

to arrange adulteries anyway,

are they?

They're against the law.

They certainly are, Tony.

We're not going to be able

to cover that up.

I know.

You said you were

in the hotel bar all night.

From about

Never left your seat.

So?

The barmaid said you went out

for about ten minutes
